Homemade Big Macs Imitation #4

Homemade Big Macs

Before I begin explaining these tasty Big Macs, I SIMPLY must tell you of my embarrassment yesterday. Let me set the scene. Holy Crap, my face flames still thinking of it.

A couple of nights ago, FFH(firefighter husband) and I were alone.. as part of my Mothers Day gift FROM him, he bought me a new battery operated toy for us to play with.. we had a couple of hours alone (or so we thought) and were having a blast with my new purple present pal. Out of the blue we heard banging at the front door. Oh No, someone returned unexpectedly. I had no where to hide my toy.. I frantically threw my toy into my pocketbook, hid the cuffs,

threw red heels under couch

took thong off lamp, etc. and proceeded to make myself presentable. Forgot about the toy in my bag.

Next morning, I went with a friend to the Courthouse

for an errand she had to run, then we were going to have lunch. Yes, Yes, Yes, I had to go through a metal detector , like in an airport, and my bag had to go through the conveyor belt.

Guess what looked suspicious.. Yep, my toy.

My freaking toy.

The man started rifling through my bag and his eyes popped.. He had to remove my toy, Oh dear lord, And run my bag through again to make sure it was the toy causing the beep. . AND to make matters worse, as he took it out he grabbed it by the wrong freaking button, and the thing was making the VVVVVVVVVRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMM sound, ladies you all know THAT sound, and doing a twisty motion dance...

OMG!! My friend was screaming with laughter as were the others in line. Me, I just shrugged, smiled, accepted my toy back , expertly turned it off, held my head high with dignity, as my face fely hotter than like ever, placed it back in my bag, and thanked the nice gentleman in the blue uniform with a gun strapped to his belt, and made sure to shake my ass as I walked away.. I can't recall a time I was more embarrassed. Not even the time we got pulled over by the dudes in blue, and I had panties on my head.

Last of the imitation posts for now. I have a few others ready to go but I am holding off till next month for those. I found this recipe for Homemade Big Macs on Chubba Gurls blog. She found it from Grilling 24 x 7. It is a wonderful copycat recipe.

It tastes really yummy. Better than the real thing... that is if you get a craving for the real thing every so often.. And it is a fun thing to make. The kids get all excited about making Mickey D's something at home. Can't say its a healthy recipe, but it does the taste buds good.

First you must gather your special sauce ingredientsMix these ingredients

all together in a bowl

and let sit in the fridge for about an hour or so , so the ingredients can get to know one another. Get your sesame seed buns and have them ready. You can either use 2 bottoms and one top or find the thickest sesame seed buns you can get and slice the one bottom in half.

Gather your other toppings, some finely cut onions, finely chopped iceberg lettuce, slices of cheddar cheese, some sliced pickles, and ketchup if you like Using 80% ground beef, form your patties. You can grill them to your liking, or you can fry them.

As it was pouring when I made these, I fried them, bad girl. More authentic, right? Season them with salt and pepper if you'd like. Cook till they are done to your liking. For the assembly, place the following in order on the plate.

• The bottom bun
• The Special Sauce
• A few diced onions
• sliced lettuce
• slice of cheddar cheese
• one burger patty
• the middle bun
• a tablespoon or so of special sauce
• few diced onions
• 2 or 3 pickles sliced lettuce
• one burger patty
• ketchup if using
• the top bun

Drumroll........

serve and eat.

Or should I say gorge.

Some deep fried french fries is a nice touch .
